Nintendo 3DS: 3.61 million units sold worldwide

The worldwide numbers for Nintendo’s 3DS are in: 3.61 million units sold worldwide. The total count is from the Japan launch on February 26th through March 31st, or the end of Nintendo’s fiscal year. It sounds great, but I think it just misses their total expected number. Of course, this looks like nothing compared to the Nintendo DS figures for the entire fiscal year: 17.52 million units. The Wii managed to move 15....

Nintendo Download: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

With that out of the way, you’ll also findForma.8, Piczle Lines DX, andNeoGeo: Puzzledon the Switch. In a near unprecedented move, that’s it! No 3DS, no WiiWare, no Wii U! It’s not a great look that the 3DS isn’t even getting shovelware this week, and although Reggie claims that it’ll be supportedthrough next year and beyond, I’m dubious....

Ahoy matey! This here be a videogame about pirates, ARRR! OK, I promise I won’t any more pirate jokes, but it’s going to be difficult.Risen 2: Dark Watersbrings the well-crafted role-playing ofRiseninto a Caribbean world filled with swashbucklers, voodoo, pistols, parrots, and silly monkeys. At first it might seem odd to try making a traditional Western RPG into a pirate game, but once I played through the first quarter ofRisen 2, it made me wonder why no one has tried this before....

The Raving Rabbids are car selling perverts

The Raving Rabbids must be popular in Ubisoft’s homeland of France, as they’re being used to sell cars out there. This commercial, featuring the “Lapins Crétins”, shows off the new feature of the Renault Scénic — a camera that lets you see what’s happening when you’re backing up. As you may see, those stupid rabbits are putting it to nefarious use. OH THOSE DUMB RABBITS WHATWILLWE DO WITH THEM!? I love the idea of the Rabbids being called Lapins Crétins....
